When Friends Become Family

This past Saturday my dear friends welcomed their first child into the world. It was wonderful to see them at the hospital the next day. The last few days seemed like an eternity to them because I know they wanted to hold their little son more than anything in the world.
Now that he is here, it is great to see how much he is loved already. All their friends are there to support them and shower them with well wishes. They will be great parents!
I have known this couple for a long time now & I am grateful that I have them as friends. When I am down, they bring me up. Their extended families are great as well. It is nice to have great friends around when your family is not in the area.
Many of my other friends in Nashville have become like family too. I guess that happens when you cook & do so much together.
True friends are there for you during the least glamorous moments in your life. You celebrate the joyous occasions together & comfort each other when you are rock bottom. Many of my friends were there for me after my robbery last year. It was hard for me to be "normal" and they let me deal with it at my own pace & never rushed me. They could tell when I needed a hug or that extra bit of attention.
In less than a second your life can change forever, I know from experience. 
So, what do you to cope with the constant change of life in this crazy world? You take everything in stride and have fun with your friends. You make the best with what you have and enjoy life.
You also enjoy the delicious food that God created for us to eat.
Friends become family when you are comfortable with them seeing your messy house as well! jaja!
